“How do you do? So pleased to meet you! I am Magda, an exiled Hungarian Countess. Notice my royal and classic tabby stripes – designer wear – picked up this outfit in Paris, no less. Not only am I well-dressed, there is plenty of Magda to love. In other words, a lot of tabby. We Hungarians do love sour cream and paprika, especially lots of sour cream. Chicken paprikash, yum!”

“Magda loves people. Magda is not so sure about her fellow felines. More than one of the folks here in my suite hisses. The orange one hisses every time she thinks of me, never mind sees me. I'd sooner live alone with humans only. Two guys here who also must have indulged in a little bit too much Somlói Galuska. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce…sigh…yum. Magda does much better if she does not talk about food - or other cats.”

“I care a lot about people. I care a lot about me. I admit there is a lot of me to care about. I’d like a person or two in my life who agree that going on a slim-down diet would be a good thing to do. Someone who will bring home tasty lean turkey and chicken more often than a box of Somlói Galuska. I’d like to be able to climb and leap again. It’s a cat thing!”

“I care for people who want to pet me, feel my round furry Countess self. Have you been cuddling up to some old body pillow? Something you bought online from Bed, Bath, and Beyond? How about cuddling up with Magda? Think how wonderful a warm tabby hugger will be come January? I’d like to sit with you, maybe on you, and watch cat videos.”

“Magda is a sweet but proud Countess. She does like food, but she likes people even better. She has Hungarian spice and Feline serenity. She wishes she had her forever people. Become my forever people – just come to Feline Rescue with $120. We’ll go home and make some Somlói Galuska – just don’t tell!”
